MOS: You have to come to Bryant Park Winter Village for the shops, for the food, for the tree, and just to have a good time.

VO: [CAMERA SNAPSHOT]

MOS: It’s just nonstop; there’s so many amazing things to see. The spirit is so high.

MOS: The food looks great.

MOS: The vendors here are so talented and it’s great to support small businesses. I just think it’s a really, really magical place to be this time of year.

JEFF BARKER: The partnership between Bank of America and Bryant Park is so important because this is our neighborhood. And it’s really culminated in this Winter Village. This year we’re even more excited because RED is here with us.

HUW DAVIES: We’re enormously proud of our relationship with Bank of America. It’s a seven-year commitment they’ve made to support the AIDS fight with (RED). That’s $20 million dollars they’re going to give to fight AIDS where it’s needed most. Behind me you’ll see the Bank of America pop-up store promoting the (RED) SHOPATHON. Bank of America are generously donating 30 cents for every dollar spent on Amazon.com/RED up to $1.5 million.

MOS: The best part about the holiday season is spend time with family and the ice skating rink.

DAN BIEDERMAN: We’re thrilled to be one of the places people say you must see. It’s really a great thing for New York.

VO: [LAUGHTER]

JOHNNY WEIR: The Bank of America Winter Village really does it right. It’s so wonderful for me to be able to perform and do what I love to do outside in New York City. There’s no feeling like going into a spin or setting up for a jump and looking around and just seeing this city all lit up around you, and it really warms my heart.

CROWD: Three…two…one!

JEFF BARKER: This will be a phenomenal experience for anyone coming here this year.

Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park kicked off the holiday season with its annual holiday tree-lighting event, complete with skating, musical performances, and holiday shopping.

This year’s event, narrated by Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actress, Jane Krakowski (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), featured a stellar line up of live performances from Olympic and World champion skaters including Johnny Weir, Kimmie Meissner, Meryl Davis, Charlie White and Jeff Buttle, followed by ice skating for all.

Once again, the centerpiece of the evening was the original story, The Lights Before Christmas, narrated by Ms. Krakowski and featuring young Broadway star, Mattea Conforti (Matilda). Music performed by New York City’s premiere big band, Lapis Luna, provided a live soundtrack of Christmas classics for the skaters and story. After the tree was lit, onlookers were invited to lace up and skate along to a live Lapis Luna set of holiday songs in front of the glittering tree.

Highlighting both the celebratory spirit of the evening and Bank of America’s partnership with (RED), the Tree-Lighting Skate-tacular continued the tradition of honoring the efforts of (RED) and their mission to eradicate AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. For four weeks during the holiday season, Winter Village guests visited a special pop-up shop, presented by Bank of America, where they window-shopped and ordered products to support (SHOPATHON)RED, (RED)’s annual shopping campaign. To support (RED)’s effort, Bank of America contributed the cost of a day of lifesaving medication for every dollar spent during the SHOPATHON, only on amazon.com, with a total contribution of $1.5 million.

Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park features a 17,000-square-foot ice-skating rink, a glass-enclosed eatery, and an open-air holiday market for holiday shopping under the glow of the city’s lights. Located at West 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue, Winter Village is adjacent to the New York Public Library and a short walk from Times Square and Grand Central Station. www.wintervillage.org
